Really hard to get these kinds of sets in large quantity on mainland Europe, so when I saw an opportunity, I took it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Maybe I need to get some of these too. Then again, maybe not..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAssively overhoarded? Where did you get that idea from? On Brickset only 1000 sets are owned against 1900 Raptor Escape. I think it might get overhoarded in the USA. with easy availibility there, but in Europe it is not available a lot, so think it will be rare here.

Val-E Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 It´s been out for what 6 weeks? Anyone betting the farm so soon on this set with no concrete info about when it is going to retire is taking quite a risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Netherlands it has been available for three months now, so twice that long. With more interest in JW sets it will likely be more overhoarded than the escape one, but still many people in Europe will miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Worse case scenario is you have to hold it longer. It's going to be a winner, the only question is time frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going by history repeating itself and QFLLs may fall for it. I know a few huge players in the "LEGO game" and none of them bother with BrickPicker or Brickset. To be honest, I've not seen anything remotely rare in the UK since the 21104 Mars rover was on general sale. I can't imagine any production run smaller than 100,000 units these days. However,I think it is an iconic set and the one mostly likely to rise in value (and the ONLY one I will touch in the entire theme), subject to availability and the race to the bottom ?

grabbitfast Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Its a no from me for this set as well as the rest, 75932 is max 20 units on sah and worse still Smyths have the rights to it in UK how quickly we forget what Smyths did for the Batman Tumbler constantly finding new stock long after retirement. Smacks of trying to join the party when every ones gone home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grabbitfast Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Smyths have this for £29.99 plus the vouchers on top,guess thats 40% off if you buy 2. with the £6 off voucher Will probably not let you have more than 3 in any one store.

Highlighted in the newsletter. £27 each. Selling for ££37+ on ebay. If I had space, i'd have bought it to sell in two years time. I'm just window shopping these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxio Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 no way lego LEGO Shop at Home is shifting these at rrp. I'll wait until they unload hopefully at least 30% off. Only been out 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'd be very surprised if these reached RRP after EOL due to every man, his dog and the QFLLs piling in on these, so a huge discount is a must. I'm not trying to be negative, but lots will be on the bandwagon desperate for history to repeat itself. I'm holding out for £19.99 as it's too much of a risk otherwise when going all-in. At £22.99, I'll probably buy just 20 or so, but only if I have a buyer already lined up to take the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
